When the espresso mixture has cooled, dip the cookies in the liquid one at a time and line the bottom of a 9x 13-inch baking dish. NOTE: dipping the cookies makes for a wetter dessert, alternately you can brush both sides with the syrup, using a pastry brush. Use as much or as little as you like.

Spread 1/3 of the chilled mascarpone mixture over the cookies. Repeat this process 2 more times finishing with a layer of mascarpone. ** For more stability, lay the second layer of cookies in the opposite direction of the first layer.
